Higher Castleshaw Farmhouse

Higher Castleshaw Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the early 18th century. It is built of dressed stone and hammer-dressed watershot stone, topped with a graduated stone slate roof. The building has three bays and two storeys, with two early additional wings at the rear. The right side features quoins.

The central door has a square-cut surround and pulvinated impost blocks, flanked by a small window on each side, also with square-cut surrounds. To the left, there is a 6-light window with a blocked fire-window to the extreme left. On the right, a 6-light window has been heightened in the 20th century. The first floor has three 3-light windows, all with recessed cavetto-moulded mullion windows. The gables are coped, and there are gable chimney stacks.

At the rear, the gabled wings contain three 2-light and one 3-light cavetto-moulded mullion window, along with a door that has a dressed surround. There is also a blocked arched light and 2 and 3-light gable windows, the latter dating from the 20th century.
